Summary
[edit]DescriptionRAF Tornado GR4 in Afghanistan MOD 45156839.jpg |
English: A Royal Air Force Tornado GR4 from 2 (Army Cooperation) Squadron taking off from Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan. The Squadron is part of the RAF 904 Expeditionary Air Wing based at Kandahar.
The Tornado GR4 Detachment, currently manned by II(AC) Squadron, stands ready to launch at a moment’s notice in support of Afghan-led ground forces anywhere in Afghanistan, and regularly delivers vital close air support to provide friendly forces with an edge over insurgents. Increasingly, the GR4 employs shows of force to deter insurgents, helping break contacts with the enemy without the need to release weapons. When necessary, however, the aircraft can use precision weapons to attack ground targets. The aircraft also provides critical detailed intelligence and reconnaissance through its state-of-the-art RAPTOR and LITENING-III sensor equipment, enabling Tactical Imagery Intelligence Wing to provide ground commanders with detailed information about the battle-space. 904 Expeditionary Air Wing (904 EAW
